500px

Some time ago I decided to put some of my photos to this awesome site called 500px. I really like how they present the photos, the usability of the site, how the like/dislike system works and just the overall look and feel of the site. You can check my photos at http://500px.com/kalleoksa

New design for the site

Ahoy there!

As you can see I have a new design for the site but it’s not only the design what is new. I also did a whole new structure for the site.

I used an adaptive CSS grid system called Less Framework 4. Now the site is functional with the desktops, laptops, iPad, iPhone and other mobile devices. Less Framework was easy to use and learn and I really recommend to try  it.

I hope you like the new design and structure. Please give some feedback if you like it or you think there’s a way to improve the site somehow.

Näköradio

This short movie was an intro for a snowboarding movie called Näköradio.
I shot this in 2005 with an old 8mm film camera Sankyo es66-xl and a 3 rolls of Kodachrome 40 film. I didn’t have the money to do a digital scan so I shot this to camcorder from projector. Maybe I will do another version in the future with proper scanned original…

This version is a re-cut because I couldn’t use the original song anymore.

I want to give a huge thanks to all who was a part of this project!

PS. Näköradio is an old finnish word for television.

Promo photos for Five Minutes For Myself

2 weeks ago I had a chance to take promo photos for Five Minutes For Myself. Before the shoot we had a little discussion about what kind of photos they would like to have and we came up with an idea about these 30s or 60s inspired photos. I got inspired by Mad Men (which is awesome show btw!), film noir, Goodfellas, old smoky jazz club etc.

I’m honored that FMFM asked me to take their photos and really happy how the photos turned out!

I used 2 different lenses, Sigma 50mm/1.4 and Canon ts-e 24mm. For lighting I had 2 old Elinchrom Unipacks with cheap  Yongnuo radio flash triggers.
